Dickinson missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness, according to Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.
Chicago doesn't play until Friday, so it's possible that Dickinson will be fine by then. He has seven goals, 14 points, 78 hits and 40 blocks in 47 appearances in 2024-25. The status of Craig Smith (back) and Patrick Maroon (back) is uncertain, but if Smith, Maroon and Dickinson are all unavailable Friday, then Chicago will likely recall a player from the minors because the team would otherwise have just 11 healthy forwards on the roster.

Blackhawks' Jason Dickinson: Considered game-time decision
Rotowire
Dickinson (hand) is considered a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Flyers, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Dickinson played through a hand injury during Thursday's win over the Panthers and will likely be monitored in the hours leading up to Saturday's puck drop before the Blackhawks officially determine his status. However, head coach Luke Richardson said that Dickinson will "probably play," so it wouldn't be surprising to see the center suit up in Philadelphia.

Blackhawks' Jason Dickinson: Battling hand issue
Rotowire
Dickinson played through a hand injury in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Panthers, but he will need further evaluation, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The fact Dickinson played through the issue is mildly encouraging. This injury pops up at an inopportune time, as the 29-year-old has spent a couple of games alongside Connor Bedard, though Dickinson didn't get on the scoresheet Thursday. More information should be available prior to Saturday's road game against the Flyers.

Blackhawks' Jason Dickinson: Scores both goals in loss
Rotowire
Dickinson scored two goals in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.
The rest of the Blackhawks couldn't get anything going, but the duo of Dickinson and Connor Bedard clicked in their first game together. With three goals over his last four games and a spot on the top line, Dickinson is a player to keep an eye on in fantasy. For the season, the 29-year-old center has four goals, seven points, 20 shots on net, 29 hits, 14 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating, so he could be a good source of category coverage if he can pick up the pace on offense.

Blackhawks' Jason Dickinson: Tallies in overtime win
Rotowire
Dickinson scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Wild.
Dickinson snapped a five-game point drought with the first-period tally. The 29-year-old has not been as prominent on offense this season as he was in 2023-24, but he maintains a strong share of ice time as the third-line center. Dickinson is up to five points, 15 shots on net, 25 hits, 12 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances. His defensive work keeps him in the lineup, but he's unlikely to be a long-term fantasy option at any point of the campaign.

Blackhawks' Jason Dickinson: Puts away goal Thursday
Rotowire
Dickinson scored a goal in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Dickinson provided an insurance tally in the third period. It was his first point in five games, and the center has added five shots on net, 10 hits, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating while filling a third-line role. Last year, Dickinson was surprisingly successful with 22 goals and 35 points over 82 appearances, though that came with a 17.5 shooting percentage he's unlikely to ever repeat in a full season. He's best utilized in a shutdown role, one that leads to minimal fantasy value.
